To SECURE GOOD TEACHERS. Those
who are anxious to secure good teachers
for the fall schools will be interested in
the notice published in this issue by Prof
Clyde r. Showalter, of the Normal Re-
view, Cassville. Those who are deter
mined to employ their ''sisters or their
cousins or their aunts.n regardless of
qualification, Gf only they can run the
gauntlet of the examination of the county
superintendent this information will be
of no interest, but those who are de-
sirous of securing the best talent avail
able will see at once the advantages
Prof Showalter possesses in the selec-
ton of a teacher. He knows more
about the qualification of those whom he
meets every day in the classroom than a
school board could find out in any other
way, and both honesty and prudence
would urge a wise selection, as the rec
ommendation of a teacher for position
he or she could not fill would react
against both the Normal Review and its
conductor. Moreover, it Is due the
wide awake teachers who try to improve
themselves by taking a special course
through the summer, that they be given
the preference. This will encourage
further efforts in the direction of self
Improvement which will result eventually
in raising the standard of the schools of
Grant county by improving the qualifi-
cations of our teachers.

ABOUT A BUGGY A few weeks ago
Mrs. Hodges. of Hurricane, had her
buggy smashed by the horse running
away. One of her daughters received
a hurt from which she is experiencing
considerable trouble. Last week
another daughter of Mrs. Hodges who
teaches school in Hurricane came up to
Lancaster to purchase another buggy
for her mother who is a rheumatic
invalid She took or had sent to her
mothers home top buggy from Chas.
Belz's shop. Mr.. Belz claims that she
bought the buggy, and Miss Hodges
claims that she sent it to her mother
only on trial. Friday afternoon Miss
Hodges again came to Lancaster and
purchased buggy of Hurley, Dasch s.
Hyde. Jehiel Hyde took the buggy
down to Hurricane and at the request
of Mrs. Hodges brought Mr.. Belz's
buggy back with him, leaving it in
front of Mr.. Belz'S shop at about half
past seven last Friday evening and at
the same time notifying Mr. Belz's
family of what he had done. Mr..
Bell himself was not at the house at the
time and the buggy stood in the street
all night. Saturday morning it was
discovered that the top to the buggy
had been ruined by being cut to pieces
with knife. Mr.. Hyde says the vehicle
was all right when he brought it back.
The buggy is now standing in the street,
Mr. Beiz having refused to receive it
into his store rooms, and it is probable
that the courts will have to determine
who the buggy belongs to. The dam
age to the buggy-top from cutting is
about $l5.
